Long ago, when cone crushers arrived on the market, autogenous grinding was simultaneously becoming quite fashionable in the mining industry. As part of our study, we queried many of the major mining companies about their thoughts regarding the use of autogenous grinding circuits versus conventional crushing-grinding circuits.

A mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting. Such comminution is an important unit operation in many processes. There are many different types of mills and many types of materials processed in them.

Closed Circuit Grinding. Closed circuit grinding consists of one or more mills discharging ground product to classifiers which in turn return the coarse product from the size separation back to the mill for further grinding.

• a crushing circuit including high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) at Argyle Diamond Mine. Recent feasibility studies for the Boddington Expansion Project have considered the use of HPGR for hard rock multi-stage crushing and ball mill circuits at high tonnage rates (Parker et al, 2001).

CRUSHING AND GRINDING FOLLOWED BY GRAVITY SEPARATION This method of gold recovery has been practised for over 4,000 years, and was the only method of separating gold from its natural environment until the late 19th century. Many modern gold plants incorporate gravity circuits as part of their overall flowsheet, and it is estimated that

Crushing Equipment. The selection of the right crushing equipment is influenced by many factors some of which are upstream of the crushing plant (e.g. blasting pattern and mining method) and others which are downstream of the crushing plant (e.g. mill and grinding circuit selection).

As well as blast design changes, the performance of the crushing and grinding circuits were reviewed during the PIO project. It was recommended that Ahafo measure the primary crusher closed-side-setting once a week and maintain it between 5 and 6 in., based on operating power draw.

He has extensive experience in the comminution and beneﬁciation of copper, gold, and lateritic nickel ores. He has worked on crushing and grinding circuits in an operational or consulting role in six continents, with a focus on the process development, testing, design, and optimization.

The selection of the right crushing equipment is influenced by many factors some of which are upstream of the crushing plant (e.g. blasting pattern and mining method) and others which are downstream of the crushing plant (e.g. mill and grinding circuit selection).

After closed-circuit secondary crushing, the SAG mill feed 80% passing (F80) size was 25 mm to 30 mm. Installed grinding power is split equally between the two mills with the SAG mill fitted with a variable speed drive (VSD).
